Proverbs - Cities Exalted

Proverbs 11:10-11

When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:

and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:

 but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

                    We, as women, have a little city we impact, especially if we are moms and wives.  We uphold the law of our land and have the privilege of establishing the ‘city’ in righteousness.  We must exalt that which is righteous and cause that which is wicked to perish and not have a voice in our home.  Our homes will rejoice, shout and be blessed as we filter out those attitudes, entertainment choices and lifestyles that the Lord deems as wicked.  Oh Lord, help us affirm those things you value and disregard the lures of temporal pleasures that conflict with Your plans for our homes.  Give us wisdom in supporting our children and husbands when they seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.
